Sunday Downtime - All Evolve Media Sites are being migrated to a new data center Sunday Dec 11, 2016. The migration will occur during an 8 AM to 2 PM (Pacific Time) maintenance window. We will have up to 1 hour of downtime for any of our sites.

I read it a while back already. What I got from that story was don't take short notice fights unless you are 100% ready to fight. Herman didn't look good and has now lost 3 in a row. I wouldn't really be shocked at all to see him cut after tonight.

I think if your second loss in a row is a short notice fight, you'll probably get another one. But if you've lost two in bad fashion like Herman has, you might already get cut. A third bad loss, short notice or not, probably is ground for dismissal.

But let's face it, HW is so weak that he may stick around or be back in a hurry anyway.

Isn't Silva unpopular? People are realist about him winning, but I rarely see too many people saying they like him.

Silva is fairly popular with the media, its the fans that he's never really caught on with. I'm sure GSP fans cheer for him to lose so that they can claim GSP is the best P4P guy, for whatever that's worth.

I love Silva and GSP. How can you not like what Silva does? His skill level is insane. It is like saying you didn't like Gordie Howe in his prime? Who the **** saids that?

Exactly why I think he'll get cut. With the addition of the SF guys and possible other additions of maybe Barnett and Cormier (if he doesn't drop to LHW when he moves over), the division isn't nearly as weak as it once was. He would get beat by probably 15-20 guys already in the UFC HW division. Let him go work the independent circuit and see if he can improve and come back to the UFC in the future. But for now, he should be cut.

I love Silva too. But, GSP's much more popular and hence you get his fans who want him to be known as the top guy. Personally I don't even care about p4p lists, but others do. I think it was already brought up in this thread regarding Silva.
